If you are considering 3D printing as the title suggests, then try your local library. My local one offers the service so I assume others might.

Local libraries or gumtree ads are where to start.

Do you hve a design ready to print or need one drafted up?

You'll need to get it printed out of something like ABS so it lasts in the interior heat up there.

Have you got both of the pieces to glue together to make the drawing from?

Gumtree will probably have someone local that can draft it up for you. Even if they can't print it in ABS, you'll at least then have the file to send off for printing.

Have you got pics of what you need. I have 3d printers at work so maybe able to help? I would need to draw it up in a cad file first so need measurements and a model?
